Answer: he had 50 marbles at first.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of marbles that he had at first.

He gave 2/5 of his marble to his neighbour. It means that the number of marbles that he gave to his neighbour is 2/5 × x = 2x/5

The number of marbles that he has remaining is

x - 2x/5 = 3x/5

He gave 1/6 of the remainder to his friend Ali. It means that the number of marbles that he gave to his friend is

1/6 × 3x/5 = x/10

The number of marbles that he has left is

3x/5 - x/10 = 5x/10

He had 25 marbles left. It means that

5x/10 = 25

5x = 25 × 10 = 250

x = 250/5 = 50

In ΔSTU, m∠S=(11x+3)∘,∠T=(2x+16)∘, and m∠U=(x+7)∘. Find .
frozen [14]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔSTU ,

m∠S = (11x+3)° ; m∠T = (2x+16)° ; m∠U = (x+7)°

According to angle sum property of a triangle , sum of all the interior angles of the triangle is 180°.

So,

11x + 3 + 2x + 16 + x + 7 = 180

=  > 14x + 26 = 180

=  > 14x = 180 - 26 = 154

=  > x =  \frac{154}{14}  = 11

Which of the following is most likely the next step in the series ?
GalinKa [24]

\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}

  • Which of the following is most likely the next step in the series ?

\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}

  • The next series is most probably going to be <u>option </u><u>D.</u><u> </u>
  • We can see from the series that, figure 1 has 4 points marked on the circle from which they formed a rectangle.
  • In the next figure, there are 3 points marked which together when joined forms a triangle.
  • Then the next circle has 2 points marked on it which makes a straight line.
  • So, obviously the next figure/circle in the series should have only 1 point marked on it. This won't form anything as you can't join just 1 point with something.

Solve each system of equations algebraically y= x-6 y= 2x
lbvjy [14]

Answer: x = -6

Step-by-step explanation: The problem gave us the y value, so we can just substitute it into the equation and solve it.

y = x - 6

y = 2x

2x = x - 6 (substitute the y value into the equation)

1x = -6 (subtract x on each side)

x = -6 (1x is basically saying x so you do not need to divide)
